22/1

6/1

Course winner. Good second of 15 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D (good) 7 days ago, leading briefly well inside final 1f and keeping on. Losing run tempers enthusiasm but not entirely ruled out from career-low mark.

RAMPAGE has been given a chance by the assessor and ran his best race for present connections when edged out late on in a C&D handicap 7 days ago. Operating from the same mark, he gets the vote to shed the maiden tag. Last year's winner Smaoineamh Sile has fallen to a handy mark and is feared with a reappearance run under her belt. Atbay and Everylittlestep are a couple of others fancied to feature.
